GDPR Training Online

Our GDPR Training online course will provide the learner the basic knowledge to understand this legislation but more importantly how it will affect businessess.

GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) will be introduced throughout the EU and the UK on May 25th 2018. This is an important new regulation and every company who collects data, which could be linked to an individual, will be affected. High fines may be imposed for those who fall foul of this important regulation and it is vital that all staff who collate and gather information, do so correctly, in accordance with company policies. Your staff need to understand what changes have been made.

This awareness course outlines the changes in legislation, the rights individuals now have to protect their data, and how individuals in companies must act to be compliant with this new legislation.

Who is this GDPR Training online course for?

Each company which collects data and information which could be linked to an individual, whether that be data concerning customers or staff, will be affected by the May 25th 2018 Regulations.

To establish the systems that control the data, large companies must appoint a Data Protection Officer. However, all staff in companies who collect and handle data, must understand the new Regulations and their role in data collection.

This is important new legislation which changes data collection rules for the digital era. Your staff must understand their role and how to react to enquiries which have been completely changed under the new rights. This awareness course is for all staff who handle this sensitive information.
